There`s a southern accent, where I come from The young`uns call it country The Yankees call it dumb I got my own way of talkin` But everything is done, with a southern accent Where I come from
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta`s Just a motel room to me Think I might go work Orlando If them orange groves don`t freeze I got my own way of workin` But everything is run, with a southern accent Where I come from
I got my own way of working When everything is wrong With a southern accent Where I come from
For just a minute there I was dreaming For just a minute it was all so real For just a minute she was standing there, with me
There`s a dream I keep having Where my mama comes to me And she kneels down over by the window And says a prayer for me I got my own way of prayin` But everyone`s begun With a southern accent Where I come from
We have our own way of livin` But everything is done With a southern accent Where I come from
